Patriot Signature 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1333)

The Patriot Signature 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $19.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
